Minister of Culture Oleksandr Tkachenko said during a telethon on the We are Ukraine YouTube channel that after the state drives the UOC out of the Kyiv Caves Lavra, they will consider all proposals.

“There are museum objects to which all citizens should have access. And after we finally return the state’s access to the facilities of the Lower Lavra, we will consider all proposals and projects on how to fill the territory of the Lower Lavra with content,” Tkachenko said.

As the UOJ previously reported, the neural network replied that neither the President, nor the National Security and Defense Council, nor the Ministry of Culture have the right to interfere in the affairs of the UOC.
